Lakshmi Coin Necklace

Remember the Lakshmi Bangles I posted some time back? Well here I am posting them again to jog your memory.

I have been looking for a matching necklace. I had in mind the old traditional pastern of long chains made of thin gold coins with Lakshmi image on them. 

You can see some here:

They are made of gold. At the present cost of gold, I cannot afford it. Anyway, I settled for this one made of one gram gold.

This is a short length chain, just long enough to circle the neck. You can have a closer look of the Lakshmi coins.

Well I would like to get my hands on a long length chain-the traditional one.....

With Kundans.....

I have used butterfly kundans. They can be stuck to the coasters with glue.

I am sorry for such a bad quality of pictures. It is very difficult to take photographs of shiny objects.

Here is one more.

The small conch shells also have holes for stitching. These are actually used in embroidery.    I will get some without these holes so that I can use for this project. I have shown here two sizes of the conch shells. We can just glue them on to the coasters/covers.

Some more in my next posts...Keep an eye on my blog....
